About
Coastal Mudworks has been a long time dream for ceramic artist Rebecca Hnatiuk.
Rebecca is an Alfred University graduate and has 12 years experience with clay and teaching. Her passion for teaching has lead to the creation of Coastal Mudworks; a clay community to inspire each other to create and try something new, while getting a bit messy in the process.
When Rebecca is not in the studio she can be found as a Maternity RN, outside hiking with her dog, Kona, trying a new cooking recipe or in the dirt gardening.
Our Instructors
Kim
Kim found Coastal Mudworks in November of 2022 when a group of friends stopped in for a Sip & Spin workshop. From there, she found a community and a hobby she loves!
As a small business owner herself and a busy wife and mother, free "me" time is not always easy to come by. The studio is where she enjoys spending some of that time. There are so many ways to be creative while playing with clay!
Kim enjoys exploring all types of handbuilding techniques and throwing on the wheel every now and then. Experimenting with glaze layering and color combinations provides endless surprise results.
Coastal Mudworks is a great place to spend a couple of hours and you never know...you may just never want to leave.
